Tomorrow I’m going down to school with my parents about the whole retaining thing. I’m certain my dad’s going to blow up again. Ah well, I’m prepared for it and used to it already, so no biggie.

Actions speak louder than words.

I’m sick too, down with fever and flu and the works. (I keep typing flu as flue, I don’t know why but that e keeps coming out. Strange.) So everything tastes bitter and my head hurts and all that, but I’ll get better soon! I hope.

Anyway, there are alot of reasons for me to be happy now!

Armchair Critic is doing great, the past two shows we played (Deafcon 6 and Victoria School’s Evening of Music & Drama) were absolutely amazing, and we’re looking forward to keeping to that standard at this Friday’s TPRAWKS. Please head down if you can to catch us at our best.

I remember when we were starting out, we’d tell people- please come and support us, we need you to be there, please. It was so painful and miserable to be playing show after show to nearly nobody, making tonnes of mistakes, screwing up, going off-key, off-tune, off-time, getting upset with one another.

What I hated the most was not that nobody was coming to our shows or that we were making mistakes in particular, but that it never ever felt like we were giving our best, no matter how much we tried or wanted to. We just couldn’t reach that place

Now somehow along the way, going through all that, we’ve grown stronger and tighter and we can proudly say “Come for our show, you’re going to have a good time!” (And I’m sure anybody who caught us at Deafcon 6 and EMD would agree). It feels like nothing else in the world,

and I can’t wait to see where we’re going. And I thank, from the bottom of my heart, each and every one of you who’ve wished us well or been a part of this journey at any point in time. It is the most fulfilling thing I’ve done with my life. I will see you at TPRAWKS, and Full Flight, and you will see me with two guys I love more than anybody in the world, doing what makes us feel alive. And it is beautiful.

Girls, girls, girls! There are so many! Hahaha. One’s turned out to be a good friend, and she’s really intellectual so I can sit and talk to her for hours about life. And she can outdrink me anyday man. =\ She reminds me of Bib, a little. Another is a little young and jaded, so it would be nice to make some sort of difference to her. Though I can never really get into younger girls. Another is going overseas permanently, and I wish her well. I haven’t seen one since my exams ended and hers began, and hers just ending so hopefully we’ll catch up soon!

There is another girl now. She came out of nowhere really, and I’ve only met her once, but we MSN and I’m really looking forward to seeing her again. She’s intelligent, a passionate artist, and pretty hot, so she actually satisfies all the criteria! Hahaha.

I still feel for the one that I messed up with. I suppose I always will. =) Perhaps I’ve always been wanting someone exciting, someone who can really take me on a rollercoaster ride, bring me somewhere I’ve never been before, make me look at things differently, try things I’ve never done before, surprise me.

I miss the ex too, and I think the dust is settling now so maybe we can have a chat over coffee or something sometime soon. It would be nice.

These things take time, so time will tell what happens! Singlehood is pretty fun too. I gotta catch up with other friends, like OG36 from NYJC (I miss you buggers so so much) and JS and SB and others from my earlier days that I haven’t met in so long.

Oh, and my iPod! I’ve finally gotten it, and finally installed the software, and finally transfered the songs, so I am a very, very, VERY happy bunny. I now can listen to music on the go! After like, 3 years since my discman died. YAY.

Alright, I’m going to bed because I’m sick, and sick boys need their rest. Cheers! Hope to see you soon!
